The USB32HDES Slim USB 3.0 to HDMI Adapter turns a USB 3.0 port into an HDMI output with 1920x1200/1080p video support. The adapter minimizes clutter with a slim design that seamlessly blends with your video cable - an ideal space-saving solution for multi-monitor applications on Ultrabook, laptop, or desktop computers.

Functioning as an external graphics card, this USB to HDMI adapter provides a convenient way to add multi-monitor capability to a USB 3.0-enabled desktop or laptop computer (optimal performance from USB 3.0, backward compatible with USB 2.0).

To save space while travelling, this ultra-portable USB to HDMI adapter features a lightweight, small footprint design that fits easily in a laptop carrying bag.

Leveraging the high-bandwidth (5 Gbps) SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface, the adapter delivers smooth, high-definition content to your HDMI display/projector. The adapter can be used to mirror your primary desktop, showing the same image on each display, or to extend your desktop to double your workspace and increase your productivity.

Rating: 4/5Works with Caviats

Cons: If you have any other USB monitor, such as a travel monitor, the drivers will conflict and you will not be able to use the other monitor ever again (at least until you unistall the StarTech driver). I have a Asis usb monitor for sale if anyone wants it. jk.

Rating: 5/5Update to my last review

Other Thoughts: So I uninstalled the software (trigger) and reinstalled it. I plugged in the adapter that was unresponsive and it worked. It's strange that the other adapter has worked all along while the second one stopped working until the uninstall/reinstall.The same went for the Unitek USB 3.0 3 port gigabit ethernet adapter. Once I unistalled the driver and plugged the device back in, it also worked again. Glad I did because they were both sitting in my trash as victims to high tech failure.

Rating: 3/5Compact size but...

Pros: Small size, very good video performance even when connected via a USB 2.0 hub.

Cons: Purchased 2 on 4/30/2014. They arrived promptly but one adapter displayed artifacts in the screen. I swapped screens and switched adapters to confirm. The bad one was sent back. They were working great until a few days ago. One of them just stopped working. Switched USB ports, USB hubs, monitors. No go. It's a great device but I'm not happy that after only a few months one of them has died. The good one is connected to a USB 2.0 Ethernet adapter right now because the USB 3.0 Ethernet adapter that was being used also died at the same time. The 3 USB ports work but not the Ethernet. This issue could be related but I'm not sure.

Other Thoughts: I use USB video for additional monitors a lot. Usually they just plug in, Windows auto-downloads driver if needed and everything works. These didn't, and required I manually download drivers from Startech. That alone removed one egg. I also had 1 bad unit out of 3 of these I ordered, but I usually don't remove an egg for things like that. This device is fast though, much faster than any other USB based video I've used in the past. I'm sure the USB 3.0 is the reason for that.
